Cyber security company CrowdStrike deepens ties with major tech firms, launches industry benchmarks for AI in the SOC, and reports strong channel returns.
CrowdStrike made a raft of announcements at its Fal.Con event in Las Vegas overnight, chief among them a set of broad integrations with Amazon Web Services, Intel, Meta, NVIDIA, and Salesforce to extend its Falcon platform across the enterprise AI landscape.
The cyber security firm said the enhancements are designed to secure cloud life cycles, endpoints, workloads, and SaaS applications, while detecting shadow AI and protecting AI agents from manipulation.
The collaborations bring Falcon security into Amazon’s SageMaker, Bedrock, and AWS Marketplace; Intel’s NPU-powered AI PCs; Meta’s evaluation tools; NVIDIA’s LLM workflows; and Salesforce’s Agentforce platform.
“Securing AI is not just about technology – it’s about securing the full ecosystem where AI is built, deployed, and used,” Daniel Bernard, chief business officer at CrowdStrike, said in a 15 September statement.
Standards for AI in security operations
In a joint initiative with Meta, CrowdStrike also revealed CyberSOCEval, an open-source benchmark suite to evaluate how large language models perform in real-world security scenarios.
Built on Meta’s CyberSecEval and leveraging CrowdStrike’s threat intelligence capabilities, the benchmarks assess AI performance across incident response, malware analysis, and adversary simulations.
“Our collaboration with CrowdStrike introduces a new open-source benchmark suite to evaluate the capabilities of LLMs in real-world security scenarios,” Vincent Gonguet, director of product, GenAI at Superintelligence Labs at Meta, said.
The framework is designed to provide organisations with clearer metrics for adopting AI in the SOC, while giving developers a standard for improving model capabilities.
Delivering record value for partners
Separately, CrowdStrike shared new research from Canalys that found partners can generate up to US$7 in services revenue for every US$1 spent on the Falcon platform.
Global partners, including system integrators, MSPs, MSSPs, and resellers, reported the strongest gains from Falcon Next-Gen SIEM, which they report has become a driver of high-margin, recurring services.
Nearly half of the services value came from managed offerings, highlighting Falcon’s role as a long-term growth engine for the channel.
“Canalys’ findings reinforce how the Falcon platform is in a league of its own, setting a new standard for partner opportunity,” Daniel Bernard, chief business officer at CrowdStrike, said.
